DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Bocking Churchstreet. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for one to two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days. For a home in Bocking Churchstreet, we normally park close by and start straight away, after agreeing the plan with you.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
